Sarbjit Movie Review: A half-baked plot and screechy Ash let down a fiery Randeep


If you remember anything about Priyanka Chopra's Mary Kom, we bet you remember how infuriated you were when you saw director Omung Kumar reduce the boxing champion's inspiring life story into a soul-less snoozefest. Thank your stars that Sarbjit is at least a marked improvement to his last film, but similar problems persist. His well-intentioned effort is bogged down by an inadequate screenplay that just cannot do justice to the 23 years of Sarabjit's trauma, his family's anguish and his sister's undying fighting spirit is lost in Omung's tendencies to focus more on the more trivial things. You'll not be particularly intrigued by the story of incarcerated Sarabjit Singh. There was a time, he was the topic of hot discussion on news bulletins, triggering thought-provoking debates. People had found themselves polarized between the questions - Was he really a spy or an innocent man who got drunk and crossed over the border? Well, our director here makes it a pure homage film. He sticks to the version of Sarbjit's sister Dalbir Kaur's without meandering much from what she has told them about his life. At this point, it is necessary to point out that Omung never creates a hero out of his titular man. It is Dalbir's story all the way and the film could very well be named that instead of Sarbjit.  

OMG! What Annoyed Abhishek So Much As To Walk Away From Aishwarya At The Sarbjit Premiere?

We all saw Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's entire family including hubby Abhishek, in-laws Jaya and Amitabh Bachchan, parents Vrinda and Krishnaraj Rai, and brother Aditya attend the premiere of her movie Sarbjit. The Bachchans and the Rais were all praises for Aishwarya and her performance. Hubby Abhishek also praised his lovely wife saying, "It's immensely brave of any actor to perform with such honesty and fearlessness and the Mrs. is the bravest of them all. So proud! #Sarbjit"

However, Fardeen moved away from the public eye and set his heart on other business ventures. It seems that Fardeen for some reason was not able maintain his slim and trim avatar as he was recently clicked sporting some serious flab. 
Well, this was quite enough for Twitterati to go berserk over Fardeen's new look. The once-upon-a-time good looking actor became the butt of jokes when the online world raised its mean but funny head.
